Sapa
Untouched beauty by trekking with a local guide & local markets
Off-the-beaten-path experiences in a popular tourist destination
Sapa is a sought-after destination in the Northwest with its charming nature and culture. However, its pristine beauty is gradually lost due to an influx of tourists, and many travelers who desire a peaceful land have crossed Sapa off their itineraries.
Travel with DCT Responsible Travel, there are other ways to touch Sapa’s true beauty: follow local paths and dive into the diverse culture of 6 ethnic groups. Indigenous people who intimately know about their homeland will take you to find untouched allure through trails, jungles, mountains, and hidden villages. Get away from the town & vehicles for an unforgettable trek on foot!
Moreover, Sapa promises a cultural adventure like no other as you delve into its authentic way of life, especially at the local market, a gathering place for indigenous ethnic groups. Once per week, locals will wake up early, dress in their traditional attire, and head to the market to connect with others, trade goods, and exchange information. Grab a precious chance to observe the daily lives of the locals, local produce, and vibrant traditional costumes.
Let’s enjoy this ideal escape in the summer, especially with crisp air and lush greenery in all corners, encompassing both forests and terraced fields. From here, you can embark on a special summer journey: visit the colorful Bac Ha market, travel along vast yet breathtaking routes to Mu Cang Chai, or loop back to Lam Thuong, a promising land welcoming you with the warmth and cheerfulness of the Tay people.
